KingOfNewYork Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I think we get Samuel, use the whole Carolina brought in Robby because they thought he was better than you but we think you're better and we'll pay you more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that his QB was not good and the play calling even worse? He was a rookie who only played half the season. And nobody should be guaranteed a starting spot on a 2 - 14 team but they will be and Mims is just as deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatility to play C or G. And with the line being better as a whole... it makes everyone better. Becton, Thuney, McG, Elf, Fant is a good OL. Put a talented RB like Williams or Mack behind that and we have something. Then it’s just getting receiving weapons to keep defenses not able to just stack the box. I LOVE Mims... but quite frankly he didn’t do enough to be guaranteed a starting spot. I wouldn’t put it past us to bring in a legit guy on the outside and then a guy to compete with Mims. Let the best man get snaps and if nothing else we are covered depth wise. Which killed us last year at WR. Elf starting would be a huge disappointment starting the season. I don't even want him on the roster let alone starting. He's terrible don't care about his versatility. I'd prefer to keep GVR over him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4life51 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I still don't understand Elf being abysmal. Lightyears ahead of Alex Lewis and GVR. Did very well with Aaron Donald. Has played very well next to Becton. I really don't get what you guys are seeing. Is it some stupid PFF rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have 1 highlight reel play and then get blown up for several plays. I would be really disappointed if we didnt upgrade at RG. I'll admit I was pounding my fist on the table to draft him. I was pounding my fist on the table to pick him up on waivers. I understand why the Vikings cut him though. He can run block okay, but when it comes to pass blocking, I worry hes going to get our rookie QB killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being better than already average players doesn't mean we shouldn't try and get the best possible player at the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love him, he’s young and can play the Deebo role in this offense. Would have to move on from crowder but I’m cool with that, Crowder is strictly a slot guy whil Samuels can play in the Slot, Backfield, out wide.

Zeitler just played in NY so no need to move, Thuney wanted to come last offseason and obviously only moving from NE. We allocated $12m or whatever it will cost for Thuney and by cutting Alex Lewis that money will probably secure Zeitler (if we need a few more dollars just cut GVR) Bring back Elf for depth and we have ourselves a really good oline. We have Clarke and Edoga two young draft picks getting better and learning from some quality vets and that’s how you start the pipeline that good teams do on their oline.

Dr.O Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If we can land a haul of Joe Thuney, Curtis Samuels, Jamaal Williams, Kendrick Bourne, Akhillo Witherspoon, and Carl Lawson.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I think the excuse is a little bit more valid when you don't have the ball in your hands all the time, as opposed to the quarterback. Mims is entering year 2. Darnold is entering year 4. I think it is perfectly logical to give Mims more time to prove himself as a starting wide receiver, and at the same time cut the chord on Darnold. If Mims was the fourth pick in the draft in 2018, it would definitely be time to move on. Heck, he wouldn't even be here anymore. 11 hours ago, ekill08x said: Idc about the rating (its horrible though). He would have 1 highlight reel play and then get blown up for several plays.

I understand why the Vikings cut him though. He can run block okay, but when it comes to pass blocking, I worry hes going to get our rookie QB killed. I'm OK with whatever they decide to do with the interior of the O line. I assume both Lewis and Van Roten will be gone. I also assume they will bring in one high-priced guard and likely keep Elflein at the other spot. I would also be OK with bringing in two free agent guards. But I think giving a 26-year-old lineman another chance is not a terrible idea. He was a good prospect and he still has time to get it together...ESPECIALLY under a new coaching staff in a new offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
